His go to Russia as a spy and get himself captured so he can pass bad intelligence to the enemy. The trick will be getting back alive when there's absolutely nobody he can trust, especially his boss.

Kirkus Reviews ""With sexy foreplay & an intriguing plot, FOREIGN EXCHANGE is one of the best kept secrets of the spy genre."

Spy Versus Spy
When you read Foreign Exchange, you can bet that you won’t immediately see the story within the story or the plot within the plot. What starts out as a private eye story morphs into a spy versus spy story and just try guessing who’s on which side and who’s working for whom.

Book 2 just as satisfying
Really enjoyed book 2. Same lovable flawed hero. Same clever twists and plotting. Solid wordsmithing and sentence structure. Very enjoyable read. Wish there were more to the series.
